Or, for something a little easier to digest. Spanish Flu was Swine Flu, or derived from it. Spanish Flu isn't really a thing. There is a reason why you hear it called Spanish Flu but I don't have time to go into it. As far as I know but I could be wrong, "Spanish Flu" would that have been spread around Europe would have been imported from the USA via troops afflicted with the H1N1 virus.

(For anyone curious about above statement) Here’s a source why it’s called Spanish Flu. Spain was one of the only countries who admitted they had a problem since the rest of the world wanted to keep up appearances for the war. https://www.cdc.gov/flu/pandemic-resources/1918-commemoration/key-messages.htm

Yes, a mix that happened between pigs and chickens in Kansas is the main hypothesis 🙃
